With oil prices almost halving in the last 6 months, reaching a five-year low in January, the Canadian frac sand industry is scrambling to determine how this will impact the market for proppants and what steps need to be taken to lean the supply chain in order to economically serve end users who are now looking to cut costs.

Because of this, Canada’s most well-attended frac sand summit, the Canadian Frac Sand Logistics & Market Forecast Summit 2015, will be returning for its 2nd year to focus on practical solutions for responding to the oil price crash and optimizing the logistics and economics of getting frac sand to Canadian well sites.

After the breakout success of last year’s summit, this year’s edition features a completely revamped speaker line-up and agenda dedicated to the entire frac sand community.

Will outline the requirements E&Ps have on the supply chain, before determining frac sand requirements based on volume, type, and location for frac sand demand from well service companies. We will then examine the impact that falling oil prices will have on drilling activity as well as assess what it being done to alleviate the downward pressure on pricing throughout the supply chain – but on the other hand, we will assess how LNG exports will drive incremental demand for frac sand in Western Canada. Speakers will then explore the strategies for increasing railroad capacity and optimizing the utilization of rail cars as well as illustrating current and future transloading infrastructure. Day 1 culminates in an examination into how to optimize supply chain management through the distribution of responsibilities between stakeholders throughout the supply chain.

DAY 1

Will open with frac sand producers projecting the very latest volumes and types of frac sand being supplied into the Canadian market as well as providing a heat map of the different draw rates for natural frac sand, resin coated proppant, and ceramic proppant. Speakers will then compare the qualities, performance efficiencies, and pricing dynamics of emerging Canadian domestic sand with US northern white, before examining the landscape for current and future levels of imported proppant from Chinese markets to meet demand. The day continues with speakers providing their storage capacity requirements and advancements for both onsite and infield storage options as well as examining how to retain frac sand quality to meet end user specifications. For the final part, speakers will explore strategies for reducing bottlenecks in trucking and improving last mile delivery before analyzing regulation for silicosis prevention and the re-design, re-engineering, and mock-firing of equipment to manage dust control.

*SAVE $400

Frac sand demand is anticipated to soar from 28 million tonnes to 84 million tonnes by the end of 2016. Despite a 6-month slide in oil prices, the pace of development across Canadian plays such as the Duvernay, Montney, Canadian Bakken, Horn River, and Cardium - and the use of significantly more frac sand per well from E&P operators seeking to optimize well results - has kept demand for frac sand strong.

The importance and criticality of the summit is demonstrated in the commitment of key executives from leading shale E&Ps, Well Service Companies, Frac Sand Producers and Railroads to not only deliver their insights at the summit, but to put themselves forward for the forging of new partnerships that will facilitate an increase in efficiency in their supply chain and procurement strategies.

Operators are actively looking for more reliable and efficient solutions and at the 2nd Annual Canadian Frac Sand Logistics & Market Forecast Summit 2015, you will be presented with a one of a kind opportunity to meet key decision makers face to face and present your much-needed solutions.
